Design your own robot zoo.

How will your robots move?

Will they:

walk on mechanical legs?
glide along a track?
start and stop suddenly?
(some robots have touch sensors to stop them bumping into things)

make up your own roborhythms:
You will need Rhythm Maker installed on your computer for this activity.



Different robots move in different ways.

You are going to invent and draw your own robot.

First, you will need to think how your robot will move.

Using Rhythm Maker,

choose the sounds your robot makes as it move
arrange these into a rhythm pattern for your moving robot
Make up and try out your own moves for the robot.
Perform your moves with the robot rhythms you have invented.
